SMS Advanced client - mmc

I'm looking for a way to disable software distributions to a specific
hardware model; while keeping all other SMS components active.  I've found a
way to disable inventory scanning but not software distributions at the
client level.

Any suggestions?

Why not change your collection to not target those PCs.

thanks for the reply...our goal is to disable\prevent all further
distributions to this set of hardware.  The desktop image is static and
controlled outside of the normal SMS distribution process.   We want to
disable distribution while keeping all other SMS components active.  We
prefer not to mange the exclusions at the collection level but at the client
level if possible; as in the [SkpSwi.Dat (Skip Software Inventory)] option to
disable local drive scanning.

thanks

You could use a "local override policy".  I've only done that on a couple
machines, individually, using Roger Zander's Client Center tool.  Although
I'm sure someone probably has a script somewhere if you wanted to automate it.

Hi,

here's a .mof for disabling the windows installer source location manager
component of the advanced clients. It can very easily edited to disable the
advertised programs client agent:


[CCM_Policy_PartialPolicy(true)]
instance of CCM_SourceUpdateClientConfig
{
SiteSettingsKey = 1;
PolicySource = "Local";

[CCM_Policy_Override(true)]
Enabled = FALSE;
};
